I think this poem is about saying goodbye, because he knows that all his
days will be gone, then thay will all turn into dreams or memerories, then
in the second stanza, he begins to talk about how he is losing all of his
memerories. Some people might think that this is about losing everyone
around him because of the diseases going around, then in the next stanza it
makes it seem like he is trying to save all of these people.

I'm in eighth grade and we did this HUGE poetry project. One of the things
I had to do was paraphrase a poem and this was the one I did. I don't
remember everything I put, however, I remember that I thought this poem was
about memories. Especially with the second stanza and the references to
sand slipping through his fingers like memories being lost. I dunno.

I agree with all Poe_lovers.I don't think that we have the right to throw
our negative comments to whomever it may stick to.Life is not easy for
everyone.we don't also have the right to judge either life itself or the
owners of it.If you don't get what a poem says then mind your own
business(if you have of course)

The people who think this man is a drunken fool are fools themselves. If
they cannot understand the deep meaning of this peom written with extream
understanding then they dont have the right to out down the extrodinary man
that wrote it.
The poem beggins to say that he has been living in a fantisy but the
fantisy is now over and must say goodbye, and he starts to think that what
if life is just a dream and one day we might all just wake up. Our lives on
this earth could just all be a dream 14 or 20 or 50 years long, then we
could wake up one day and see that it may just be one night that we slept
trhough dreaming of what we belive is life

True, he was a drunken man who was probably called an idiot and a madman on
many an occassion. But he was truly a brilliant man. The fact that a person
may not understand his sophisticated language, the symbolism in his poems,
and everything and anything else about him is a fault of your own; it's not
your right to criticise him so harshly. And about him marrying his cousin;
it was a common thing to do in the States at that time, especially in
Virginia, if I'm not mistaken.

I feel sorry for people who don't understand a poem and respond by calling
the poet stupid. I can understand your frustration, but that's your problem
not his. Anyway, it's really quite simple. Our lives and the material
universe of which we're a part are just illusions. The Hindus call it maya.
They also blieve that the only real thing is God in whose mind the drama
plays out. To many this is a joyous thing like a dance which has no point
except the fun of it all, but Poe did have a melancholic tendency and
tended to see the negative side of everything.

I like this poem. he shows you he cares and he cares so much that he even
wants to save the sand from the tide. he is an emotional wreck but he can
turn terrible things into a strange but nice poem you can relate to.
